Title: Choc-apricot cookie
Post by: johnro on October 02, 2011, 09:18:56 am

Choc-apricot cookie - makes 40 cookies
Original recipe from CWA Biscuits and Slices - p64 - contributed by Mary Hanslow,Tas.

125g softened butter
80g castor sugar
130g soft brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup dried apricots (forgot to weigh amount but I used less as that is all I had) or craisins (3/4 cup = 120g)
65g shredded coconut - can use up to 90g
150g SR flour (up to 200g for a firm dough - refer to pic on further posts)
180g choc chip - I used milk choc bits but white choc would also be great

1. Set oven 180 degs. Paper 2 biscuit trays.
2. Add dried apricots to TMX - chop 8 sec speed 7 - set aside - no need to clean bowl.
3. Add butter and sugars - cream on Speed 3 for 1 min - if necessary scrape bowl midway. Using the butterfly produces a very fluffy mixture which I prefer but not necessary.
4. Add egg - beat further 30 sec speed 6. Remove butterfly if using
5. Add all other ingredients - set 20 sec but up to 30secs, speed 2 until mixed. Scrape any additional  mixture form sides of bowl. It should be a firmer type dough - today my dough was a little too moist - see pic on post below as I used 190g coconut Sr flour and extra coconut.
6. Place teasps onto papered tray spaced apart to allow for spreading - flatten slightly
7. Bake 15 - 20 mins or until light golden colour. Allow to stand on tray 5mins before turning onto wire rack to cool.

Enjoy!!!!

Yum Robyn. This is our type of biscuit. DD always complains the biscuits are similar. My attempt at putting something healthy in them. I love fruit/rolled oats etc in biscuits. Actually if I admit it I just love biscuits. :-\
